Was my question answered?

Small victory getting signs taken down at local theatre but the response I got was odd. Not sure if I'm reading too much into it or he is just making a standard business statement.

Response:
We have *removed the signs. We don't think that you need a weapon in our theatre.*

MY EMAIL:
Theatre:B & B Festus 8 Cinema
Message:I am inquiring about the Festus 8 theatre's policy on concealed handgun carry in your theatres. I am a licensed CCW holder in Missouri and used to frequent the Festus theatre until I noticed a sign stating that concealed carry was prohibited. Recently a friend of mine saw a movie at the Festus theatre and informed me that the signs were no longer posted on the doors. Does that mean that the Festus theatre now allows licensed CCW holders to carry in the theatre? This theatre is very close to my home and I would love to watch movies there as the staff was always friendly and it was a very clean and comfortable theatre. Thanks, Rob

Maybe I'm missing something in the OP...BUT...why did you email the theater and ask if it was ok to carry concealed AFTER your friend told you that the signs were down? Seems to me you would just go to the movie and carry, especially if the signs are/were down...Afterall, concealed IS concealed...JMO

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

Curiosity, as a sign not being there one day doesn't mean a company had changed it's policy.

I am a member of a local gun forum that tries our best to not shop at businesses that restrict CCW and give our business to pro 2A companies.

"He went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being, but nevertheless he was in reality a wolf of the Steppes. He had learned a good deal . . . and was a fairly clever fellow. What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life. The cause of this apparently was that at the bottom of his heart he knew all the time (or thought he knew) that he was in reality not a man, but a wolf of the Steppes."
